3D computer model I made of the RBMK-1000 reactor

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on a 3D model of the RBMK-1000 nuclear reactor created using Blender, a popular 3D modeling software. The model is a work-in-progress, with plans to enhance it by adding the refueling crane and correcting inaccuracies such as the reactor hall's roof shape. The creator suggests that animating the model and integrating real or simulated telemetry data could serve as an effective training and operations tool.

PREREQUISITES
  • Proficiency in Blender 3D modeling software
  • Understanding of nuclear reactor design, specifically the RBMK-1000
  • Knowledge of animation techniques within Blender
  • Familiarity with telemetry data integration for simulations
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore advanced Blender techniques for modeling and animation
  • Research the specifics of RBMK-1000 reactor design and operational features
  • Learn about integrating telemetry data into 3D simulations
  • Investigate best practices for creating educational training tools using 3D models
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for 3D artists, nuclear engineering students, and professionals involved in training simulations who are interested in creating realistic models of nuclear reactors.

Here are screenshots of a 3D model I made using a program called Blender, of the RBMK-1000 "Chernobyl-type" nuclear reactor and reactor hall.

It's still a work-in-progress and not yet finished.

If you could animate that and couple it up with real or simulated telemetry data, it would make a marvelous training/operations aid.
 
Thanks!

Here is a video fly-through I made of it.



It's not finished yet, I still need to add the top part of the refueling crane, and all sorts of miscellaneous equipment and machinery.

There's also a few inaccuracies that I need to fix, like the roof being flat and not curved.
